Regional players Libby Rothwell and Tallula Norman had an exciting weekend as they played in an U19 South West tournament for U17 Team Bath Blues in Devon.

The girls performed really well and received a good amount of court team. The squad finished 3rd out of 8 teams losing only to the 2ns and 3rd finishers Teignbridge Titans and U19 Team Bath Gold.

Congratulations to Serena Guthrie who has capped off a breakthrough Suncorp Super Netball season by being named the inaugural HCF Most Valuable Player at the GIANTS Netball Gala Dinner at Sydney’s Australian Technology Park on Friday 23 June.In her first season with an Australian club, Guthrie featured in every GIANTS game in 2017 – making the Centre bib her own after traditionally playing the majority of her career in the more defensive Wing Defence position.
As a result, the English international was a dominant force in the GIANTS’ midcourt, commanding play in all thirds of the court to finish the season with 198 Goal Assists, 488 Feeds, 22 Intercepts and 49 Deflections – an average of 11.7, 28.7, 1.3 and 2.9 per game, respectively.

Congratulations to Serena Guthrie who has secured a place in the Full-time England Squad for the 2017/2018 Season.

The 2017/18 season will include two editions of the Quad Series, a three-match Series in New Zealand, the 2017 Fast5 tournament, a home International Series later this year and the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast, Australia.
